The Littles Go to School by John Peterson

Lucy Little is worried about going to school for the first time. Her family reassures her that she will enjoy it, but she’s still scared. When Tom and Lucy find themselves accidentally transported to school in the gerbils’ cage, Lucy gets a chance to explore the school and find out how fun it really can be.

My thoughts:

My son and I just finished this chapter book for school. I think we may have made it through all the Littles books we own! For some reason this wasn’t my favorite Littles book. I think it may be because the action and adventure was very tame, apart from their being transported to the school by mistake.

My son enjoyed it and got a kick out of the silly things Tom and Lucy did while exploring the school, so I suppose it’s a bit more appealing to kids. It may have also sounded similar to our homeschooling experiences. Just like us, Tom and Lucy do the majority of their school work at home through mostly child-led activities. They go to the “big school” for one week per year to meet with their classmates and teacher, Ms. Beta Gogg.

I recommend The Littles Go to School to those who are already fans of the Littles.
